It's correct the ABI doesn't change, but it also means that newer kernel must work with older DTB files. So the fix should be better in the driver and not in the DT sources. > > Also, the patch you linked doesn't seem to have settings for the FIFO > sizes. It wouldn't make sense to provide gadget fifo sizes for a host-only setup. The mentioned patch doesn't really fix this issue, that's why i mentioned that we should fix this issue first. > > > > >> > >> I hesitate to change the legacy/default settings in case it breaks any > >> existing drivers that depend on them. > > > > Platforms?

Unfortunately the gadget fifo sizes should have been marked as required for OTG and gadget mode. But now it's too late.
